About this test

Screen your bowel health

Non-visible blood in your stools can be an early sign of possible gastrointestinal issues. This quick at-home bowel test can tell you if you carry invisible blood in your stools, helping you decide if you need to seek further support from a healthcare professional.

Why test

Symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, or changes to your bowel movements can be a sign of a bowel health concern.

We also know that many gastrointestinal problems in the early stages such as colon cancer, ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissures can cause hidden blood in stool and may not always show any visible symptoms.

Screening for gastrointestinal issues allows you to check for the presence of non-visible blood in your stool. If a specific concentration is found, the results will indicate a positive result, suggesting an abnormality in your bowel health.

This test has been designed by healthcare professionals.

Intended use

This at-home test is designed for adults aged 18 and over for the collection of a stool sample. This test has been designed by medical experts to give you an indication of your bowel health. However, you'll need a secondary analytical test or consultation with a healthcare professional to confirm the status of your bowel health.
